Turns out that the whole Catholic business of venial sins and penance and Purgatory is a lot like the board game "Chutes and Ladders." At least that's according to the strangely masculine nun who will run the Late Night Catechism classes on Nov. 9-11 at the Met. Tickets: $22-$26. Call 74-STAGE.

The Full Curtis

So you went to the MAC to see the photogravures by Edward S. Curtis, and now you'd like to know more? Well, the images came from the Spokane Public Library, which holds the full 20-volume set of books and portfolios that comprise Curtis' The North American Indian, published between 1907 and 1930. Take some time to examine the display cases by the Northwest Room entrance on the library's main floor. Call 444-5338.

Saturdays, 9-10 a.m. Continues through May 9
